I think I’m afraid to cruise

August 24, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever gone on one of those caribbean cruises? I’ve always wanted to, but I’ve been hesitant.

Why?

Well the idea of being out on the water for that long bothers me for some reason. I can swim. I’m not afraid of water at all. In fact I often say that I was born in a canoe (not literally!). I’ve been a canoist all my life, but it’s mostly been on creeks, rivers and lakes. I’ve also white water canoed and rafted.

So yeah, I’m not afraid of water. I think I’m just afraid of open water. The ocean.

I know it’s irrational. Cruise ships travel at night and dock in different ports during the day letting passengers out to visit whatever island their docked in for the day. So it’s not like I’d be out in the middle of nowhere on the water for a week or two.

One day I will go on a Caribbean cruise. I did promise my sister when she was sick that I would, so I have to. I’m just nervous about it.

Anyone else feel that way about cruises?

Strange names for supplements

August 24, 2007 by Tricia

Speaking of diet products, nutritional products and even protein drinks …

After my last post I went looking to see just how many different products I could find and the most unusually name for a supplement that I found was “muscle milk”. Isn’t that a strange name for a product? I guess it makes sense though as it’s a protein drink.

I don’t think I’ve taken any supplements with strange names. Ok, well I did try Cat’s Claw in the past. I guess that’s an odd name, especially when you know that it’s a natural product that helps digestive disorders. Hmmm claws huh?

What’s the strangest named supplement or medicine that you’ve tried?

Everyone’s on a diet but me

August 24, 2007 by Tricia

Just about everyone I know seems to be on a diet these days. Actually I think most of these people have tried a number of different diets over the last few years. It’s amazing how many different types of diets and diet philosophies there are out there isn’t it?

Just as amazing is the amount of diet and weight loss related products. There’s ones like Miracle burn that I presume is supposed to help you burn calories or fat faster, and then there are protein supplements and so on.

Having Crohn’s I don’t diet. My weight fluctuates a fair amount. I’ve generally been more on the thin side than the heavy side as I suppose I have a good metabolism and well the Crohn’s symptoms have a tendency to keep the weight off too.

Actually, since I’ve been stuck at home for close to two years and not very active at all I’ve actually managed to gain some weight, a little more than I like due to all that inactivity. I don’t eat much and in fact can’t eat very main foods so it’s gotta be the inactivity.

I’m not worried about it though. Sometimes when my Crohn’s disease really flares up bad I can barely eat or else the food that I do eat goes right through me so there’s been times when I’ve lost more than 40 pounds in two weeks! When I didn’t need to lose that much.

That’s mostly what I meant when I said my weight fluctuates. I’ll maintain for a while and then have a huge drop due to this terrible disease. So I’m not too bothered by having a little extra weight right now because I know that sometime in the near future it will just drop off when my Crohn’s gets even worse. The tiny bit of extra weight that I have on me right now might even help me get through a bad bad flare.

The Traffic lull is over – I think

August 21, 2007 by Tricia

Well, looking at my site stats for yesterday it seems that most people are back from their holidays, back to work or back in school. Why do I think that? Well, my stats are up. All of my husband and I’s sites had a lot more visitors yesterday than we’ve had most days over the last couple of weeks.

It’s not like there was a huge drop in site visitors, but enough that I noticed. Fewer comments, and lower visitor numbers when I check my stats.

Have you noticed that your site or sites had a slight drop in traffic through maybe mid July until at least the end of last week?

I’ll be keeping an eye on my stats over the next week, but I think I’m correct. I know that a lot of schools opened up this week so the kids are back to school. Moms that stay at home might have a bit more time on their hands for visiting blogs, and with luck the advertisers will be back and creating more work for all of us too.

I might try some natural health products for my Crohn’s

August 21, 2007 by Tricia

I used to be very interested in natural health products. In fact we still have a number of different supplements and various single vitamins in our cupboard. Unfortunately they’re very old so I should probably get rid of them.

Considering that I’ve got Crohn’s disease and my health has been poor over the last couple of years I have considered trying some natural health supplements again. I know that there are some that are said to be quite helpful with irritable bowel (not what I have) and inflammatory bowel conditions as well as digestive disorders.

In fact, Oasis Advanced Wellness carries some of the natural health products that I’ve heard are helpful such as digestive enzymes, Cat’s Claw (TOA-Free Cat’s Claw) and they even have some natural pain management supplements called MSM Supreme and Zymitol that might be worth trying.

I mean if you’ve been reading my blogs you know I’ve been having a very hard time. It’s worth trying everything possible when you are this uncomfortable.
